Abstract

There is widespread interest on the impacts of climate change on agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa, and on the most effective investments to assist farmers strengthen factors influencing their choice of adaptation measures. The purpose of this study is to analyse the determinants affecting Cameroonian farmers’ choice of adaptation measures to climate change using a multinomial logit model. Estimating the model across 303 farmers in 10 villages of the Sudano-Sahelian Area (SSA) of Cameroon, the analysis indicate that 71.4 percent of the investigated farmers have adapted to climate change, whereas 28.6 percent have not adapted to climate change. This analysis also shows that farmers prefer changing the varieties and the seed/harvest time in order to adapt to climate change. Experienceof the head of household, land tenure, farm household income, and extensional education are factors influencing choice of adaptation.
影响气候变化适应措施选择的因素——以喀麦隆苏丹-萨赫勒地区农民为例
气候变化对撒哈拉以南非洲农业的影响以及帮助农民加强影响其选择适应措施的因素的最有效投资受到广泛关注。本研究的目的是利用多项逻辑模型分析影响喀麦隆农民选择适应气候变化措施的决定因素。通过对喀麦隆苏丹-萨赫勒地区(SSA) 10个村庄303名农民的模型进行评估,分析表明,71.4%的被调查农民已经适应了气候变化,而28.6%的农民没有适应气候变化。该分析还表明,农民更喜欢改变品种和播种/收获时间,以适应气候变化。户主经验、土地权属、农户收入和外延教育是影响适应选择的因素。
